Man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them.

There is scarcely any passion without struggle.

Seeking what is true is not seeking what is desirable.

Man cannot do without beauty, and this is what our era pretends to want to disregard.

A man devoid of hope and conscious of being so has ceased to belong to the future.

What is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying.

Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future.

There is no longer a single idea explaining everything, but an infinite number of essences giving a meaning to an infinite number of objects. The world comes to a stop, but also lights up.

What I believe to be true I must therefore preserve. What seems to me so obvious, even against me, I must support.

Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding.

If only employees knew this...there is no hand out just because you got a degree. You still gotta make $ for the biz (employer), if you choose not to make $ for yourself (freelancer / ent).

If we stopped wasting people's time, what would they do with it?

When every moment is constantly being filmed, it’s hard to relax.

She had discovered that the best remedy for heartache was trying to make herself useful to others.

A lot of people in television who've had successful shows claim the 'Roseanne' show as their starting place, and I'm really proud of that.

Before dying, my last wish will be to see MS Dhoni's World Cup Winning Six.
